GAmom's play by play with pictures..Including stomach..Be warned LOL



Recommended Posts

I hope the same thing Kat. I've had quite a few abdominal surgeries and have had my gallbladder removed too... Hoping all that makes me a little more familiar with the sensations and will make it a little easier for me!! Maybe wishful thinking lol but I'm right there with you!

I don't think it's that far of a stretch to hope! We will see, in another few weeks. :)

Thanks everyone. I tried to be as detail as I could I know I have left things out and ill post the important ones when I remember them.

Let me add all our nurse wore gloves and we had wash cloths. (I packed m own cause I heard I should lol but didn't need them) I was so worried about glove issues but we had no issues at all

GAmom your simply amazing!!....I honestly believe this experience depends on what kind of attitude you have going into it! I'm stoked(and nervous I ain't gonna lie lol) about getting this done in 46 days and I have it set in my mind that it's gonna be a breeze like you made it seem lol! I can only hope that it really does go that smoothly for myself and all the rest of the fellow sleevers! =)

Hi, I'm the Jessica is the story. Thank you GAmom for telling our story. I am a huge talker, but not big into typing. It was awesome having GAmom by my side the whole time. We would have been perfectly fine alone too.

I will add some people say they see their surgeon once before surgery and once afterwards. I will tell you, we saw Dr. Illan at least 15 times during our trip. Omar never left our side except at night.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
